The maison's new book, set in Ercolano and Pompei, continues the brand's effort to promote world heritage sites. 

Gucci has released a&nbsp;limited edition book, Gucci by Harmony Korine,&nbsp;a meaningful collection of imagery featuring creative designer Alessandro Michele&#39;s Pre-Fall 2019 collection.

This&nbsp;book is a collaboration with American&nbsp;film director, artist and screenwriter Harmony Korine, and set against&nbsp;Herculaneum and Pompeii (now known as&nbsp;Ercolano and&nbsp;Pompei respectively), in the&nbsp;Campania region of Southern Italy.&nbsp;

Korine personally illustrated&nbsp;the&nbsp;front and back covers of the book, and&nbsp;his&nbsp;imagery adorns the slipcase it&nbsp;book comes in. Another interesting detail to note is the spine of the book, which is&nbsp;made such that 5 book spines&nbsp;form an image when placed beside each other, as shown&nbsp;above.&nbsp;

This book goes toward Gucci&#39;s continued effort to&nbsp;support&nbsp;artistic and cultural heritage around the world - the sites the book is set in, chosen by Michele, are both UNESCO World Heritage Site, specially chosen&nbsp;because of the designer&#39;s belief that the past is necessary for understanding and visualizing the future, and should not be forgotten or abandoned.&nbsp;

This picks up from Gucci&#39;s previous initiatives, including partnerships the Maison has had&nbsp;with the Dia-art Foundation in New York City and the Cloisters at Westminster Abbey, just to name a few.&nbsp;

Gucci by Harmony Korine will be distributed&nbsp;by the independent London-based publisher IDEA books at the start of&nbsp;June. It will also be available&nbsp;from the&nbsp;Gucci Garden in Florence, Italy, and the Gucci Wooster Bookstore in New York.
